Thu 22 Oct – Muse: The Resistance Tour
This is my fourth Muse gig in Helsinki but it's the first one to leave me with mixed feelings. Why so? It's hard to explain. In general there was nothing wrong with anything. The show was awesome, the stage set was amazing and the setlist was mostly satisfactory. But still, something was missing.
The setlist was well balanced until the show got to the trio "Plug In Baby, Time Is Running Out and Unnatural Selection". At that point of the gig three heavier tracks in a row was a little bit too much. I'm not going to say that which songs should've been played instead because that would be just plain stupid. You never get to hear all your favourite songs on one gig and there's always people who want to hear only the biggest hits so let's leave it there. Just more variety would've been nice.
One of the biggest plusses was that the songs from the new album worked really well live. I mean that's the main reason I came there, to see and hear their new songs performed live. …
